Halloween is done and gone, shopping season begins!

Did everyone have a good Halloween?  Mine was decent.  I worked from 5 am to 3 pm, but other than that it was good.  We didn't go to many houses becasue Blakes lazy bum didn't want to walk, so I had to stroll him around.  Not fun when you have bigger kids pushing you out of the way.  But it was pretty decent.

On my way to my cousins house, we saw this thing.  I think its a turkey hawk?  Whatever it was, it was HUGE.  And it was stomping on something...

Heres Blake's hair.  Yeah I know, the spray job is kinda crappy, but I did what I could:

And him in his costume:

Anyway, ebay keeps reminding me theres only 53 days until Christmas.  This year went by extremly fast!  I got some of Blakes shopping done already, but I need to get him more.  I do however plan to try to have all my shopping done by the end of this month.  What about you guys?  Do you get your shopping done early or wait til the last minute?  I usually wait, but ths year I will try something new.  Haha.

End of October

So, sales were sucky this month.  Hopefully they will pick up next month.  I'm really hoping.

Tuesday my son had ab MRI done.  They were thinking he was possibly autistic, and wanted to see if there was anything on his brain.  He is very slowly devloped, I know know why.  He's 2 and a half and is just NOW into the babbling stage.  In the past 3 monthes he finally was able to climb up and down stairs, yeah.  Well I got the results back today.  The Neurologist said the scan was mostly normal, except for a pea sized dot on it.  He's not quite sure what it is, and says it doesnt explain Blakes delay.  But he also said that the dot wasn't anything to be concerned about just yet.  So now I'm confused, if theres nothing wrong really wrong with my child, then whats wrong with him?  So now he needs bloodwork done, to see if theres anthing that can be explained there.

Anyway, anyone doing anything special for Halloween?  We are going trick or treating.  I'm going to be a mummy, and blake is going to be a dragon.  It will be fun.

End of October

I found a whole bunch of unfinished bracelets I've been working on for a month or so, they only needed to add beads tothe end to finish.  So I Had to buy beads, even though I didnt want to buy anything else for the rest of the month.  Now, I have 16 bracelets that I need to photograpy and list on etsy!

I can't believe we are almost done with October.  This month was the fastest yet.  So crazy!  Are you dressing up for Halloween?  I am!  As what, I don't know, but I AM!  I always do.  I'm a big kid at heart.  Halloween is my favorite day.  At first, I was going to be Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas and make Blake Jack...but I couldnt find any Jack Costumes in Blakes size, so next year, maybe?  Hopefully!  So he will probably be a dragon.  I need to get on the whole shopping for a costume thing.  I looked at Walmart yesterday, and they didn't have anything good.  So I need to find him a dragon costume.  And me, I will probably be a fairy or pixie again, although I should probably find something diffrent since I've been a fairy since I was like 18.

What are you guys doing for Halloween?

Happy September guys!

I cant believe its already September.  Where did the summer go?  Where did the YEAR go?

My goal is to make $5 a day to get to 160 by the end of September.  That would make up HALF my debt.  And I've been doing good with that.  Nothing sold on ETSy, but my Highschool friend sold 4 bracelets today, making me $8!!  And I had to make a custom bracelet for a friend of hers, so atleast $1 made tomorrow.  And since its only a half day tomorrow, shes not bringing my stuff to school, which is okay.  I cant make her sell it all the time.

I am working on Halloween things.  I've actually added quite a few new things in my shop.  Here are some pictures:

On other note, today has been a busy day.  Blake has ketchup for the first time today.  He's still iffy on it.  I'm not a big ketchup fan myself, but if he wants it then he can have it.

I took down the baby crib, it was taking up a lot of space in the living room.  I'm going to have to find a place to put all the peices now.

The cats have now discovered the mice.  I had the door to my room open, not a good idea.  Yeah, Buddy and Bongo just sit at the cage and look confused.  Marbles ignores them.  And Frankie tried to attack them through the cage.

And I have been listing things on ebay like crazy.  I still plan on moving soon, and yeah.  I'm trying to get rid of as much as possible.  And all my stuff is cheap too.  And I'm throwing in some of my bracelets on ebay, I already sold one!  But I figure its advertisement, so why not take it?
